August 2026

The latest podcast from the veil with Ryan Wolf is reaching people around the world and revealing the honest truth about Elly’s murder.

This is one of the best pieces of media I have been involved in about Elly’s case. For the first time, I speak openly about what I have uncovered during almost ten years of investigation.

We talk about Elly, the evidence, what happened behind the scenes that was never disclosed by the authorities in both Mozambique and Australia. I also share my raw, honest views and the facts I have uncovered, including the corruption I have discovered along the way involving the authorities in both countries.

There is a lot in this podcast that people have never heard before. Since it was launched on Friday 28th August, this podcast has reached people around the world. If you want to hear the honest truth and facts about Elly and what I have uncovered behind the scenes, click the link below

For adventurous young backpackers, Tofo, on Mozambique’s south-east coast, is a must-visit destination, spectacular and remote.

But two years ago, 20-year-old Australian woman Elly Warren’s trip to paradise ended in the most tragic circumstances. She was found dead, her body callously discarded near a toilet block.

Since then it’s been a living hell for her family in Melbourne, made worse because detectives in Mozambique seemed more interested in ignoring the homicide than investigating it. Their attitude infuriated Elly’s father, Paul, so much that he decided to travel to Africa in the hope of uncovering vital clues.

His journey is not only heartbreaking and bittersweet, but as Tom Steinfort discovers, also a successful one.

Ten years ago, 20-year-old Elly Warren was found dead in a coastal village in Mozambique under circumstances that remain deeply contested. 

In the years since, her father Paul Warren has spent his life savings and travelled across continents in a relentless search for the truth, uncovering alleged failures by authorities along the way.

He’s written a book about it, called Hunting Elly’s Killer, and he joins us to share the story of his ongoing fight for justice.

An email received by Elly’s father in January 2026 from Nicole's private investigator states that both he and Mozambique's SERNIC are very confident they know who murdered Elly. However, the identity has not been disclosed to me because there is currently insufficient evidence to secure a conviction.

Charlie and I also released a national reform proposal calling for Australian Coroners to take the lead role when Australians die in suspicious circumstances overseas, ensuring families receive independent oversight, coordinated investigations, and timely answers.

What would you do if you found out your daughter has just been killed in another country, thousands of miles away?

Oh, it’s devastating, Tom. It’s devastating, you know, it’s just – she’s such a treasure and she can love life so much and it’s just something that’s just – that should never happen.

Normal life ended for the Warren family after 20-year-old Elly left for a trip to Mozambique and never came back. She was a kind, energetic, and adventurous girl who was dedicating all her energy to protecting wildlife and saving the planet.

Elly Warren’s case is far from over. Her family didn’t get the closure they need, and justice has not been brought to her. So let’s explore all the crazy twists and turns in the story of the girl who was killed by a famous crime lord.
